Detection and Mitigation of Corrupted Information in Distributed Model Predictive Control Based on Resource Allocation

In distributed predictive control structures, communication among agents is required to achieve a consensus and approach an optimal global behavior. Such negotiation mechanisms are sensitive to attacks on these exchanges. This paper proposes a monitoring scheme that detects and mitigates these attacks’ effects in a resource allocation framework. The performance of the proposed method is illustrated through simulations of the temperature control of multiple rooms under power scarcity.
